My favorite sports title was Bulls vs. Lakers and the NBA playoffs, for the Sega Genesis:

A huge improvement on its predecessor (Lakers/Celtics) this was the first basketball game where I got to use the real players from the NBA. Each team had one player with a special move. The best were Tom Chambers' ball-fake-then-levitation dunk and Alvin Robertson's off-the-backboard-self-alley-oop.

The game was well-suited to the Genesis' three-button controllers. On offense, it was dunk-pass-shoot; on defense you could block-change player-steal. It was my goal to score 100 points in a 5-minute (per quarter) game with Michael Jordan. I got 96 twice.
